One of the objects of the invention is to provide a simple forni' ofstructure which is normally closed but which', by the upward pressure ofthe hand thereagainst, will `re sult in the discharge of a portion ofthe contents of the structur'einto the palm of the hand of the user.

Another object is to provide a structure of this character which is`simple, durable and eflicient and the reservoir or container of whichcan beeasily removed for the purpose of cleaning or refilling it.

With the foregoing and other objects' in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts 'and' in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it beingl understood that changes in't'he preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit oftlie'invention.

In the accompanying drawingsrthe preferred 'form of the invention hasbeen shown.

sleeve 12 andas soon spring 13 promptly reseatsl the valve 6 "which cuts'off the further discharge of liquid from receptacle 14.

What is claimed is 1` A liquid dispensing apparatus including areceptacle having un open bottom, a cap detachably engaging said bottom,a guide sleeve extending into the receptacle from the ca and securedwithin the cap, a valve slidab y mounted vW-itllin thesleeve and hav`ing an air passage extending therethrough from onev etlcl to the other,a head upon the valveA normally ybearing against the upper endof thesleeve, there being a fluid passage Within the valve and extending fromthe lower end thereof topa point close to and under the head, a venttube extending upwardly lroml the valve and in communication with theair passage, a sleeve mounted upon the lower end portion of andprojecting below the valve, there being separate compartments within thesleeve with which the resp'ective passages communicate, said sleevehaving outlet openings in its wall and a'lso at the bottom of saidcompartments, and a spr-ing mounted upon the valve and hearing at itsends against lthe guide sleeve and the apertured sleeve respectively,therebydiolding the head of the valve normally'seated upon the upper endof therguide sleeve to close the upper end of the Vfluid passage. Intestimony that l claim the foregoing as my own, I havelhereto affixed mysignature in the presence of two witnesses.
